Vinyl is alive and well in Central Florida. From legendary used-wax institutions to late-night Mills 50 indies and hidden gems in Sanford and Kissimmee, these are my favorite record stores around Orlando, Winter Park, and beyond for crate-digging, ra...
Orlando's flagship and the best-stocked record shop around — new and used vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and turntables, with one of the deepest new-release walls in the Southeast. Open till 10-11pm most nights, so it's my go-to for post-dinner crate digging...
Park Ave CDs
Orlando's oldest record store and a true institution — decades of used LPs, 45s by the box, CDs, and rock-and-roll ephemera packed into a character-rich Orange Ave storefront. The deepest classic rock, soul, and jazz bins in town. Bring time and dig.
Rock and Roll Heaven - Orlando's BEST Record Store
The newer indie anchor of the Mills 50 district — curated new and used vinyl heavy on indie, hip-hop, jazz, and reissues you won't find on the big-box floors. Open till 10 on Fridays, so pair it with dinner and drinks in the neighborhood.
Remix Record Shop
Orlando's heaviest record shop — horror, metal, punk, and everything dark and loud on W Colonial. New and used vinyl plus cassettes, patches, and movie memorabilia. My pick for collectors who like their crates a little spooky.
Vyle Vinyl
A digger's paradise for soul, funk, jazz, blues, gospel, and hip-hop — the owner has been selling vinyl worldwide since 1985. If you're chasing original-press R&B and rare grooves, this Orange Blossom Trail shop is the one.
Re-Runz Records
Central Florida's oldest record store, slinging vinyl and movies since 1971 on S Orange Ave. A funky, comfortable shop where the staff truly speak music — dig through deep used LPs and CDs across every era.
East West Records
A Milk District staple since 1980 — a tight, used-focused shop with a constantly rotating stash of vinyl, CDs, videos, and comics on N Bumby Ave. Great for trade-ins and the kind of cheap-bin surprises that make crate digging fun.
Retro Records
Don't let the name fool you — this Orange Ave spot swapped pastries for vinyl and specializes in rare records, 8-tracks, cassettes, and DJ gear. A globe-spanning crate of jazz, folk, Brazilian, African, and dance music. A true Orlando original.
Uncle Tony's Donut Shoppe
A newer College Park gem run by two brothers who clearly love what they sell — curated vinyl alongside a sharp rack of vintage clothing. Friendly, personal, and exactly the kind of neighborhood shop worth supporting.
Foundation (College Park)
A Historic Downtown Sanford treasure stuffed with 90,000+ used books and thousands of records, plus CDs, DVDs, posters, and eclectic vintage finds. Worth the short drive north for the deep used-vinyl bins and that wonderfully cluttered, dig-for-hours...
Maya Books & Music
Worth the drive out to Clermont — this friendly independent buys and sells used vinyl with a surprisingly diverse selection. Bring the records gathering dust at home to trade, then dig the bins for something new. A great west-side stop.
Triangle Vinyl
A sprawling Winter Garden market packed with antiques, vintage, and home decor — and one of the best record selections in the area tucked in the back. They'll even special-order a title for you. Pair a vinyl dig with a stroll down Plant Street.
Adjectives Market (Winter Garden)
A wonderfully cluttered Orlando vintage shop — rare clothing, kitschy finds, and shelves of records spinning 70s and 80s classics by an old TV. Not a pure record store, but exactly where you stumble onto a hidden-gem LP while you browse.
The Owl's Attic
Part record shop, part coffee and wine bar right downtown on Church Street. I love grabbing an espresso and flipping the used bins, and the little recording studio in back makes it feel like a real music hub.
Bynx
Worth the short drive up to historic downtown DeLand. A bright, welcoming shop with well-organized bins and owners who will happily talk music all day. Pair the crate-digging with lunch on Woodland Blvd.
